meeting and a marketing meeting, and we plan for contingencies. Leaving these meetings, everyone knows what they need to do, the alternatives, and how they’re going to implement the game plan. LESSON 5: COMMUNITY While winning was important to us, our coaches made sure we recognized the role we played in our community. In every team I’ve been on, we always did something to give back. We spoke at elementary schools, picked up trash off the highway, and supported other teams (yes, even our competition) in their challenges. As role models and mentors for younger athletes and youth, we gave hope to kids who didn’t think they could get out of their circumstances. I’ve carried this community focus into my role as a business leader. I recognize that I serve as a role model for others and that our firm can contribute positively to our community. From serving on the boards of organizations like BIND to starting our teacher appreciation program, I want to pass on and pay forward the success we’ve had. I love being able to do that for you and our community.

CELEBRATING AN AWESOME FIRST YEAR AT THE BUTTON LAW FIRM GABRIELA’S GROWTHWITH THE TEAM
It’s hard to believe that we’re celebrating one year since our marketing assistant, Gabriela, joined The Button Law Firm! Since day one, Gabriela has never shied away from a task that needs to get done. She’s picked up on everything we do, from legal lingo to building relationships with our clients and community. Gabriela is our go-to person when we need to get a task completed.
Gabriela is excited about this milestone! She doesn’t quite feel like it’s real, and at the same time, she says she’s “so ready for the future.” Gabriela also mentions, “it feels like I just started and also like I’ve been here five years.” Considering everything the last year has brought, including highlights like surprising Russell for National Boss Day, it’s easy to understand why. Gabriela has been a key part of the firm’s marketing growth in all areas. “Russell and I have started the marketing department from the ground up,” she says. It’s clear that a huge part of what Gabriela loves about her work is the people she works with. “Russell has been a great teacher and leader, who has taken the time to understand how I learn,” she shares. “I can easily say that I have my dream job and am fulfilled in my career. The people I work with make it feel like it’s more of a growing passion than a job. When we say that we operate as a team and family, it’s not just to sell an image. That’s what The Button Law Firm actually stands for.” Gabriela is enthusiastic about where she is and about her future at the firm. “My journey with The Button Law Firm has exceeded any expectations I could have ever wished for. I’m excited to grow into my leadership role and for the next five years, and the five years after that!”
“She’s a self-starter and is self-motivated,” Russell Button says of Gabriela. “Her ability to take action and tackle what needs to be done is paramount to the success we’ve had in the last year. Gabriela takes ownership and makes it easy as a leader to encourage and motivate. I’ve watched Gabriela grow into a leader herself, stepping up to handle not just the day-to-day duties but also bigger picture planning and coordination with marketing. She’s so talented and has the right mindset.”
So are we! Here’s to your first year at the firm and to many more, Gabriela!
